In the conference room, the assistant, seeing Huo Lin's gloomy face, forced himself to speak.

"Mr. Huo, the old lady, the eldest son, and the ninth son are still in the reception room. You see..."

Hollin irritably loosened his tie; there was nothing to be afraid of.

What could an old hag like her, with two immature little brats, possibly know?

He can just make up some excuse to get by!

Thinking this, Hollin stood up. "Let's go to the reception room."

Before he could even leave the meeting room, he heard the boy's cold laughter and questioning from outside, "Cousin, you've got quite the airs. Grandma and I came all this way to see you, but you haven't even shown your face. What, do you think that with Zhongnan Group about to go public, you've become too powerful to care about the family anymore?"

Upon hearing this voice, Hollin's eyes flickered, a hint of disdain flashing across them.

The family is truly in dire straits; they can only send out a little kid to save face.

What a genius! He still got his leg broken in a car accident and will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

What's with the show of force?!

After he closes that deal last night, he'll definitely find a master to kill that good-for-nothing!

Although she thought this in her heart, she smiled and went out to greet them.

"Oh dear, little cousin, you've misunderstood your older cousin. I really have been busy..."

Huo Lin walked out and saw Huo Yusen standing in front of him. His pupils contracted, and he blurted out in disbelief, "Your leg... how could it be..."

Huo Yusen glanced at Huo Lin indifferently, his voice cold, "What, seeing that I can stand up, my cousin doesn't seem very happy."

Huo Lin's eyes flickered, and he quickly said, "How could that be? Seeing Xiao Jiu walk again makes me happier than anyone else. But Xiao Jiu, didn't the doctors all say you'd be disabled for life? Even the legendary doctor Qu couldn't help you. How did you manage to stand up? If you ever meet an even more skilled doctor, you must introduce him to your cousin! You know, your uncle has always been in poor health, bedridden for many years. As his son, I've been so worried about him!"

"Really?" Huo Yusen smiled slightly. "If my cousin is so eager to see the miracle doctor, it just so happens that the miracle doctor came with me today."

"Really? Let's go quickly!"

After saying that, he quickly walked towards the reception room.

Behind him, Huo Yusen's smile faded, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Hollin's assistant felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the little boy's cold face.

Their CEO, Mr. Huo, is acting far too hastily. He's so open about it in front of his own family. Doesn't he fear getting beaten up?

"Young Master, this way please!" The assistant forced a smile and bowed, gesturing for him to enter.

Huo Yusen glanced at him, said nothing, and walked away.

Behind him, the assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead caused by that glance, his heart pounding wildly.

This Ninth Young Master, though young, has a much stronger aura than President Huo.

When Ninth Young Master was disabled in both legs, people said that the family was likely to decline.

However, in his view, the fact that a five-year-old boy could possess such a strong demeanor, even while sitting in a wheelchair, was something that no other branch of the Huo family could match.

It seems that President Huo and his group's ambitions will never be realized.

He needs to reconsider his future as soon as possible!

With Huo Yusen absent from the reception room, Old Madam Huo and Old Madam Wen finally found an opportunity to feed Qiqi.

The two grandmothers were competing with each other, feeding Qiqi a bite of fruit on one side and then chasing after her with a bite of snack on the other.

Qiqi takes a bite from the left and a bite from the right, living a blissful life.

While eating, it suddenly occurred to me, "Has Brother Shao Feng been gone for too long? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

Logically speaking, since he could smell the mask, he could have found the location and come back.

How could it have taken so long?

Qiqi frowned, made a quick calculation with her little hands, and her face immediately darkened.

That scoundrel actually set up that kind of harmful formation in the company! I'm going to teach him a lesson today!

Just then, Hollin pushed the door open and came in. He was stunned when he saw the little girl's puffed-up face.

Where did this little girl come from? How rude of her!

However, seeing her sitting next to Old Madam Huo, and Old Madam Huo feeding the little girl with a doting expression, her eyes flickered, and she suppressed the displeasure in her heart.

But he only glanced at Qiqi probingly before turning his attention back to Old Madam Huo.

With a fawning smile, she stepped forward to greet her, "Grandma, what brings you here today?"

Madam Huo glanced at him but didn't say anything. She then focused her attention on Qiqi and carefully cut the snacks into small pieces so that Qiqi could eat them easily.

Hollin stood there awkwardly, lowering his eyelashes to hide the hatred in his eyes!

He took two deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and put on a smile again. "Grandma, is there something you need this time?"

Hollin asked the question very cautiously.

He quickly recalled what he had done recently, checking if he had given himself away or if his master had caught him red-handed.

But after thinking it over, I think there shouldn't be.

Seeing this, Huo Yuwei took the initiative to speak, "Cousin, can't you see me? I came here today because I have something to talk to you about. Grandma just came with me."

“I see,” Huo Lin’s tense expression eased a little. As far as he knew, Huo Yuwei never cared about Huo’s affairs, so his visit was probably not for business. “Awei, if you have any questions, just ask. Your older cousin will answer them to the best of his ability.”

Huo Yuwei didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the point, asking, "I have a friend who bought a painting from my cousin a while ago, and strange things have been happening in his house ever since. He consulted a master who said it was a ghost, and that the painting came from underground! He knows about my relationship with my cousin, so he asked me to come and ask him about it. Is that true?"

Hollin's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile. "When did Awei start believing in all this superstitious stuff?"

The probing look in his eyes was almost impossible to hide.

But Huo Yuwei remained calm, revealing nothing. "I don't believe it, but my friend does. And the things he's been experiencing lately are really strange, inexplicable by common sense. So, cousin, did the thing you sold him come from underground?"

Hollin's heart pounded under his gaze, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "How could that be? Our company does legitimate business; we would never touch something like this! Your friend hasn't been scammed, has he?"

"Uncle, lying is not good for a child, and you'll be punished!"

Seeing that he was still denying it, Qiqi snorted coldly, wiggled her foot, and kicked Huo Lin's shin.
